About a Cloupor Mini and a technicality regarding Boges

[Jorge22]

I've had a Cloupor Mini, nice little mod, since last July. I put it aside because I kept getting the "check atomizer" message and that was a drag. I thought there was something wrong with the mod and din't think of the obvious (because the obvious is never the obvious until you figure it out).

The obvious is I enjoy cartos, Boges, and use standard Boges most of the time apart from a few clearos but not very often. Call me old school if you will. And I normally use standard Boges, which are supposed to be 2.8 ohms. And a lot of them gave me the aforementioned message. As so happens, I bought some LR Boges and, just because I was getting tired of the not so good and incredibly battery draining vape I got from a Vamo V8 40w, I decided to give the Mini a new try. And guess what: it was now working. And I though "Oh well, something I can't explain". Then I noticed that when using standard Boges (unfortunately, I bought 50 of them when I could have chosen LR), most of the times I got the same dreaded message once again.
So, I started wondering, googled a bit and found the Cloupor Mini ranges from 0.45 ohm and 3.0 ohms. Then, I inserted those failing Boges on the Vamo (in which they do work) and measured the ohms... 3.1, 3.2 ohms. Ok, now I understood: the reason why I got that message was the ohms were too high for the device to read the atties! Even if they shouldn't really be above 2.8/2.9 ohms...

Question: I know this may be silly, but is there any way one can slightly reduce the ohms in a carto so that it will become usable?

Thanks.

No, no way to do that, Jorge.

If your Cloupor is one of the earlier ones, with the adjustable (not spring loaded) pin, try backing it out a tad to see if you get a better connection. Different mods may read the same coil/topper/carto slightly different, and if your connection is even just slightly "loose" that could be enough to take it out of range.

Nope.
Silly Cloupor; alot of mods out there will at least measure your ohms up to 9.9 ohms even if it could not fire it.

 

[Jorge22]

I thought not. Thanks anyway!

I've tried doing that (yes, it's an adjustable pin), I've replaced the pin, done everything you can think of that may seem logical. That's how I finally came to the conclusion that it had to be one too many ohms. Since I've got a lot of standard Boges, I guess all I can do is hope they're not higher than 3.0 ohms...

Well, it's a nice vape and it suits me great as 30 w is more than I ever use. It's as stealthy as it gets, it looks nice, it's solid enough and it only cost me $ 29 or so over at FT... But, yes, silly Cloupor, I guess.

only $29; well then a little compromise is worth it; I guess bottom line you'll just have to use those higher ohm cartos with the vamo.

I have two

(Along with a lot of others, as well.)

Tend to use mostly a variety of KFs built to 1.5 ohms, so no problems with out of range.

I used to vape Boge and Smoktech SS cartos every day. I still have a few boxes around and will break one out occasionally. It's still a good vape. The downside is that you have to carry a bottle of juice to top them off.

After buying my first Kayfun, my carto days were over. Now that you mentioned cartos, I think I'll unwrap one and the enjoy the good old days!
